Shareef: Done

If we can show the injury occured prior to November 30th--which shouldn't be a problem--then according to inside hoops we should be able to.

Disabled Player Exception. A team may replace a player who suffers a season-ending injury with one player making up to 50% of the injured player's current salary, up to a maximum of the average player salary. The Disabled Player Exception is available in the following circumstances:

(a) If the player is injured between July 1 and November 30 and is determined to be out for that season, the team has 45 days to use the Exception; or

(b) If the player is injured between December 1 and June 30 and is determined to be out for the subsequent season, the team has until the following October 1 to use the Exception.

No impact to the cap. As SavageBeast noted above, the Kings might be eligible for a injured-player exception, which would allow them to sign a replacement for up to about $3 million (which they current can't do because they're over the cap and already used the full MLE on Mikki Moore). I doubt they will do it, though, unless Earl Boykins is still hanging around and Beno's arm flies off tonight.

NCM is whom I was thinking too (see Les Bullez), but no 10-day contracts until January. It's why we had to wait on Justin Williams despite Mo Taylor's high times.
